Thank goodness the dog crapped on the floor.

I was reloading some of my .243 Win cartridges today. I am loading 35.5 grains of IMR 4895 with a 95 grain Nosler BT bullet. I had measured out 10 loads and was about to drop them in the cartridges. Just then I noticed something out of the corner of my eye. I looked down to see a dog turd laying on the carpet next to my foot. While thinking about how glad I was that I had not introduced it to the bottom of my Redwing boot (my boots are only rated for water and electrical hazards), I bent down to scoop it up with a piece of paper. While I was bent over, I happened to glance at my digital scale. I had to take a double look, because what I saw kind of scared me. The screen showed a "g" instead of a "gn". Right then I realized that I had measured 3.550 g (grams) instead of 35.50 gn (grains) of powder. As it turns out, 3.550 grams equates to around 54+ grains of powder (max load is 35.5 grains). What is even scarier is that 35.5 grains only fills the cartridge case 3/4 full, so 54 grains probably would fit very nicely inside the case if I had not noticed the error.
Thank God the dog crapped on the floor. I think I will give him a treat and tell him "thank you".

You can be sure that the next time I wake up to find one of the dog's land mines in the living room, I am going to spend the day wondering what error I made that he is trying to warn me about.
